Donald Trump tells Minneapolis mayor he is 'playing with fire' despite attempt to de-escalate tensions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : They said there appeared to be more of an emphasis on targeted exercises. ICE agents were seen in several parts of the city yesterday, arriving at homes and businesses in groups of three vehicles with six to eight agents in total, then knocking on doors and looking around, seemingly for a specific person.
53% : "They definitely shift around," said Patty O'Keefe, a community ICE observer in south Minneapolis.
53% : But a video showed that Mr Pretti held only a phone in his hand when Border Patrol agents pushed him to the ground.
52% : Observers and activists said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity appeared to slow somewhat on Tuesday before resuming in full yesterday.
47% : Authorities have not shared that information, and volunteers who track ICE and Border Patrol vehicles say many of their encrypted communication chats have broken into atomised, hyper-local groups, partly to avoid infiltration by federal agents.
42% : "Like everybody out here, though, we can hope that maybe the change of having Homan come in could mean that ICE will shoot and kill less, that they won't attack people like us keeping watch on them," he said.
38% : Separately, Ecuador's foreign ministry sent a note of protest to the US embassy in Quito after the ministry said an ICE agent tried to enter its Minneapolis consulate on Tuesday.
24% : The killing, coupled with the earlier fatal shooting of Renee Good (37) by an ICE officer, has become a major political crisis for Mr Trump.
20% : Mr Trump's administration has signalled it will soften its approach, dispatching border tsar Tom Homan to take over the operation from Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol official whose aggressive tactics have drawn widespread criticism.
